Honest question- when, instead of performing a Google search for “emotional abuse symptoms” you instead attempted to create sympathetic examples of men yelling at women with emphasis on how the women deserved it... are you really that invested in understanding the phenomenon?

Nothing beats the courtroom image though:

AND I hope some investigation into how “give me my son’s guns instead of taking them away” resulted in feds handing over seized weapons, but I won’t hold my breath.

My phone is lagging too much to bother with posting a link, but The Tennessean posted an article yesterday about how the dad promised the feds that of he could keep the guns, he wouldn’t let his son use them. So they did.

Curious, where’d you move to? The bf and I are so over Nashville that we’re heading for the upper peninsula of Michigan.

The pants description is what he was wearing when he was last spotted, I guess.

It goes even deeper than the father giving the guns back to his son- The Tennessean ran an article yesterday about how when the guns were yo be seized by officials, the dad basically pinky-swore he wouldn’t let his son use them so they let the dad keep them. That was good enough for our government :-/

His father convinced the authorities to let him keep the guns, promising him he wouldn’t let his son access them. Seems like that shouldn’t be a thing.

The best response to anyone who says that is the “yeah, so?” argument, as in “Yeah, so he’s mentally ill. Are you saying you agree that it should have been nearly impossible for him to acquire a firearm?”

Literally watched that episode today. “I’d love to knock some of the starch out of that stuffed shirt...”

You seem to have deliberately omitted the next line Lisa says after that, in order to make your comment appear relevant.

“I don’t think not being “offended” is a right.”

What is “right or wrong,” when it comes to unfair treatment? Like even if her pictures somehow violate whatever social media expectations are set for the team, is there really no one else on the team with equally, uh, “risque” pictures?

High school GPAs are all over the place. I just graduated in 2008 (not THAT long ago!) from a school that had a standard 4.0, no AP/IB courses, no extra credit, aka hard cap at 4.0 for even the most overachieving students. I now process scholarships for a living and from state to state, school to school, I’ve seen…

It’s important to accurately translate the speaker’s words though, regardless of whether anyone agrees with the sentiment.

basically my reaction to the grammar in the first tweet- yeesh.

It’s also a weird statement in regards to any sexual assault- typically a rapist has a reputation or a family or a job to lose when they committed their crime, and yet it’s something they do and get away with.

Your hypothetical is distracting from the actual case at hand, where a woman raped a man who did not express- physically or otherwise- any interest in sexual activity as it was happening. I implore you to read the NY Mag article.

We’re coming to terms as a society (slowly!) that consent is individual. In this individual’s case, there is no indication that he communicated sexual interest, even physically for what that’s worth (read the NY article for those details) except for the professor’s testimony that he guided her hand to write out that…

*Brother, but yeah. It’s a little misleading for this article and others to refer to DJ as a student; from the get-go Stubblefield basically used him for research and decided at some point she was his way of communicating with the world. She plead with her actual student’s family to let her work privately with DJ.
